For Research Prussia: BAD; Lippes: DUH! or: 100 year old errors!

[Guest Rick Research]

Currently sans computomasheen (Frankenstein repairing) and still offline. Just lucky visiting today.

Doing things the pre-computer Research Gnome way, I've noted HIDEOUS errors in period Prussian Court and State Handbooks (as well as the German Orders Almanac), as we sort of start building up a CIVILIANS "System Krause" Master List...

N-O-B-O-D-Y could keep the TWO Lippes sorted out!

Having transcribed BOTH states' Rolls, am seeing MANY cases where a Detmold is listed as Schaumburg... and vice versa--in 100 year old sources!!!!

Those period mistakes will REALLY screw up any attempt at our Magic Identifications.

Sorting them out, by hand, for when I have any computer again... and for my eventual return (?) online.

Still offline. :0

Rick,

How many years have you been "off line" now? It has to be two years or more. We miss you to the point that perhaps we could take up a collection to get you back with us on a regular basis again. Seriously, what would it take?

Best,

Chip
